Can't believe it's Sunday. Where do the days go?
Caelen had another good night. Fighting sedation again, so it's been switched around a bit. He did mouth to me today that he wants to go :(
Luckily, the morphine, dex and versed that he is on help him settle back down again quickly and he doesn't remember waking up.
His viral cultures are negative, yay! But his UTI is still present, so he is going to stay on the antibiotics. Also, his X-ray looks better today and his lungs are starting to dry out. Dr Spray came by this morning and wants to take Caelen to the OR tomorrow afternoon to take him off ECMO, pending continued progress. So God's angels need to keep drying out his lungs with their wings.
I think that's it for today. He's still sleeping and waking appropriately when needed. We are trying to keep it quiet for the most part and let him rest. Too much stimulation in the room wakes him and then we get into the mess of adding more sedation. So imagine how hard my dad is working to keep his voice down and even just not talk ;)
Thanks again for the prayers, love from all of us!
So glad that he's had a restful weekend! Praying that his lungs continue to dry out before they try to take him off ECMO. You guys are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Hoping this next week shows great improvement!
